Do AI Pranks Always Go Viral?

CelebGen is an AI app for iPhone and iPad that creates ultra‑realistic selfies with celebrities or iconic locations.

You probably remember that classic TikTok format where people used an edited AI photo to prank someone. A bunch of apps pulled in millions of views with that kind of content.

CelebGen tried to tap into that same angle, but the results shown here weren’t fully organic.

“I pranked my bestie telling her I met her celeb crush” → 1.8M views

The rest of their content follows a single pattern-> creator slideshows featuring selfies with celebrities.

However, the only truly organic hit came from @alexa.paparazzi, four months ago:

“Friendsmas with my two best friends!” → 4.7M views

Since prank-based AI image apps perform best, CelebGen could get better results by leaning more into that format.

Below are four practical tips on how to execute this format in a way that actually drives organic views.
